description

The Waverly Hills Sanatorium, an abandoned Tuberculosis hospital that opened in 1910. It's consistently named one of the most haunted places in the country and offers tours ranging from historical to overnight paranormal investigations of the old ward and even the body chute, which was once used to transport patients. During the Halloween season, it turns into a haunted house with thrills and chills around every corner.

From the Old Louisville neighborhood, which was once named “America’s Most Haunted Neighborhood” to the historic and haunted Seelbach Hotel to the legend of the Pope Lick Monster, a curious part-man, part-goat creature who resided near the Parklands, there are plenty of haunts and legends to explore outside of the spooky season.
